Will I Ever Be Able To Chug Water Again?



Recommended Posts

Have an insatiable desire to chug Water. I am 3 weeks out. Can anyone tell me

If I will be able to chug liquids ever again?

Yes, but for the life of me, I can't remember how long it took!!! All of a sudden I could take a big drink and it wasn't uncomfortable!!

I had my vsg on July 17th and just this past Monday, I noticed I can drink a lot more Water at once..seriously even more than I could drink Sunday night! Its true that things really do change over night!! Its not a huge chug, but I can drink half of a 16.9 fl oz bottle at once! :) and it feels great!

Oh that is so nice to know that the day will come again when I can get half a bottle down in a chug! :)....eventually. I'm 4 weeks and feel like I can take a good size drink but man am I dying

To take that big gulp and keep drinking! At least it's not forever.

I also have a huge desire to chug! It's been so hard for me. I have a very hard time with clear liquids- but I can drink milk lots faster and I get no pain at all. If I take in too much waters it's about the only thing that still hurts my stomach. It's crazy!!!!

I'm about 5 weeks out today and I have been able to finally get through a decent amount of Water quickly. I cannot chug like I did presurgery, but I can take bigger drinks now. I still can overdo it though. I have tried to take too many bigger drinks in a row and had it feel stuck behind my sternum. Most of the time I'm fine though and can finally get in water easier.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
